A Scheme That Knocks McGlynn's Anti
Poverty Society Out in the First Round.
NEW YORK, May Ga Boston special says
''The Cigar-makers' International Union has
perfected "A scheme which it proposes to attempt
to carry through, and which for monumental
cheek SURPRISES anything in the gift enterprise
line ever attempted. The information comes
from a member of the International Union, and
appears to be given with all seriousness. The
plan proposed is that the government should loan
the Cigar makers International Union the
of $75. 900. 900 for cooperative purposes for
period of fifteen years at 10 per cent per annum.
If this is done, it is proposed TO erect five i'm
mense factories, each in New York, Chicago.
San Francisco, Richmond and Key West In
these factories, it is estimated, there would be
working capacity for 65. 900 cigar-makers, 1000
packers 10000 Shippers, 1000 clerks and 500
foremen The idea is, of course, to give the
cigar makers more pay and less work, and at the
same time provide the customers with good
cigars at minimum price This grand but bal
loonish scheme, the member says. is really being
considered, and the members of the union
see no reason why the government should not
come forward with the millions needed.

THE MURPHY AND CHATTANOOGA

The announcement in last Satur>
days Times that the company which
proposed building the line of rail
way from Chattanooga via Cleveland
to Murphy, N. c., would in a very
short time seek to ask the city of
Chattanooga to subscribe 100000
toward building the line was re-
ceived with much pleasure through
out the city. The fact that Chatta~
nooga was the objective point for
another railroad%which she has
within her grasp by simply sub
scribing 100000, for which the
city will receive the same amount
of stock in the road, was the cause
of much delight and in every circle
the good news contained in the
Times was the subject of discussion.
The company are now maturing all

lhe work, and they will soon make
formal request of the city to sub
scribe 100000, 70 aid in the con-
struction of the road. The money
is not payable under the conditions
of the contract which they propose
to make with Chattanooga until the
line from Chattanooga to Murphy, a
distance ofninety-six miles is, under
operation. The company will also
bind themselves to have the road
finished within reasonable speci-
fed time after Chattanooga and
Cleveland guarantee TIE subscrip-
tions of money named. The com"
pany means business and will ask
the cities named to take definite and
Immediate action.
One of the wealthiest and most
enterprising citizens of Chattanooga

more important line could hardly
be offered to the city.

THE defenders Of perpetual war
taxes are engaged in an attempt to
prove that the tariff does not in
crease the price of dutiable article.
If the tariff does not enable the
manufacturer to get more for his
goods than he otherwise could, it
fails to protect him. II it does ena-
BILE him to charge more, the con-
sumer pays him bounty: The
cheapening of goods within the past
twenty-five years is chiefly due to
the wonderful development of ma
chinery, and it affected non-protect-
ed more than protected articles.
In all the laws that impose tariff
duties and internal revenue taxes
there is not one lire to protect the
men that work in the field, at the for
ges, in the factories, or in the shops
and it is as true as holy writ that il
is wrong TO protect capital that
grinds its employees and cuts down
their. wages.
